I had the same problem with this question and I know I'm late, but I am answering it for future students who may have trouble with this question. I believe the narrator is saying that if Helen Grey does not change her ways she will be unhappy. Men think she is beautiful, but because her personality is ugly they will find her unattractive. She will be bitter. In the poem it states, "Take heed, you yet may trip and fall, and no man care to stretch his arms."

Answer and Explanation:

In the poem "Helen Grey" by Christina Georgina Rossetti, Helen Grey is portrayed to be an unpleasant person. We know this because Rossetti states in her poem "But so you miss that modest charm / Which is the surest charm of all: / Take heed, you yet may trip and fall, / And no man care to stretch his arm." This implies that not many men care for Helen because her personality is unfriendly and unkind. This is implied again as Rossetti goes on to say "Stoop from your cold height, Helen Grey," Rossetti specifically chose to use the words "cold height." The word "cold" has the tendency to be used to add a harsh or an abrasive tone, often to a dark or unpleasant subject matter. The word height implies that Helen Grey is above everyone, which can be interpreted as mentally and not physically. Making this Rossetti's way of telling Helen Grey that she needs to get off of her high horse; in other words, Helen needs to face reality that being attractive does not make her better than the rest. Therefore, Helen Grey must be an unpleasant and narcissistic person.

How do the siblings' reactions to their mother's  letters contribute to the theme of the text?

The siblings are shocked, contributing to the theme that  people are not always as they seem.

The siblings are angered after learning about their real  father, contributing to the theme that it is best to be  honest with others.

The brother condemns their mother but the sister  sympathizes with her, contributing to the theme of  forgiving loved ones.

The siblings are shocked but still watch over their  mother, contributing to the theme that it is best to be  loyal to family.

Explanation:

Through the letter, the siblings find out that their assumed virtuous mother had at least one love affair. After being raised by the now-deceased woman, who inculcated them a strict code of morality and religiosity to such extent that Marguerite had become a nun and the son a flawless magistrate, this discovery makes them furious, and they angrily leave her.
