Answer:

The modernist theme that is reflected in “Rhapsody on a Windy Night” is

individualism

Step-by-step explanation:

For modernists the themes of reason, individualism and capitalism offer the promise of freedom and love. Instead the author claims that he lives in a society that is actually dominated by sexism. After analyzing his life and his unsuccesful pursuit of happiness and progress, the truth about the world is kind of cynical for the author. The world is really governed by power, it's governed by conflict, individualism and corruption.
