The former is, obviously, on a more empathetically human level, so the characters feel more human to us.
I don't know what "more human" means. I'd say the people in Figaro just have more specific characteristics. -

What I mean is that the love and sadness experienced in Figaro is more universal; most of us have relationships, feel strongly for other people, and experiences issues with trust/infidelity. Most of us aren't heartless rakes that leave a trail of broken hearts in our wake and are then divinely punished. All of the "emotion" in DG comes from characters reacting to the protagonist, so we see them with more distance and objectivity rather than empathy; while all of the emotion in Figaro come directly from a cast full of protagonists we're invited to empathize with.
In a sense, from the audience's perspective, the characters in DG are more representative of emotional states while those in Figaro seem to be experiencing the flux of emotional states. It's the difference between Spenserian and Shakespearean; both approaches can be done well or poorly, and I think both DG and Figaro are done as well as they can be done. Cosi and Flute are quite curious mixtures of the two.

Maybe at this point we should just defer the discussion to this guy:

There are soooo many.
(1) ETA:
'Sexy' encloses both sexual and sensual for me in this context.

I don't necessarily think of '
humping
'
in this context.

is supremely sexual, though not exactly sexy, which implies urbanity and elegance.
What exactly does this mean? I don't feel that way at all. Urbanity can be sexy, too. Elegance maybe not. But I still don't understand. Could you please elaborate further? -
