focus(s)ing on the characters / character-focu(s)sed

Perspective is a focal point.
To me, the reference is to Dostoevskij's Crime and Punishment as an example of the author's the depiction of the outer/inner qualities of the characters.

its characters so intricate/complex

Here the speaker is referring to the intricacy/complexity of the characters in Doestoevsky's Crime and Punishment:

My suggestion - "Look at Crime and Punishment, among the rest....it is so dynamic, its characters so intricate."
