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

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