Correct. Helen watching the Wilcoxes in a way that seems "not life but a play" demonstrates her tendency to observe from a distance rather than fully engage or participate in their lives. This suggests that she sees herself more as an outsider looking in, rather than an active participant in their world.

Correct. By watching the Wilcoxes as if they were characters in a play, Helen introduces them individually to the reader, who is also like an audience observing their actions and interactions. This perspective allows the reader to see the Wilcoxes as individual characters with their own traits and personalities.
