The central idea of Wordsworth's 'The Rainbow' is that the sort of person we are when we are young determines the sort of person we grow up to be.

The idea is contained in the poem in the line: "The child is father of the man."

Wordsworth believed that being good made you a better person, while being evil made you a worse one. If he had lived a century later people might have called him an existentialist.
