Dr. Frankenstein' Monster...
as portrayed by the great Actor , William Henry Pratt... better known as "Boris Karloff"...
That role was to be later played by others , including Glen Strange....
And such a Great performance , that he makes the audience actually feel "pity" for this murderous Monster... and with very little "dialogue" ... simply by his "mannerisms" he was able to convey this creature's emotions and "mind-set"...
His "iconic" image is what most people think of this "Monster" (though , many others have portrayed him .... Karloff's performance is the one that we "remember"...
As for the "Doctor".... Peter Cushing will always be the actor that I remember from my childhood...
this poor creature has even been played for "laughs" ... like Mel Brooks "Young Frankenstein"...

Boris Karloff's Frankenstein will always be the template against which all others are measured! (And often found lacking).
