Interview + Relations
Wendell Berry's world is the landscape of hills and hollows, woods and fields, and bottom land that covers much of central and northern Kentucky. - farm community setting
Communities, to Wendell Berry, are eternal and timeless. Berry implements this belief into Hannah Coulter when he writes about "the membership" on the farm. The Coulters talk about how the membership is eternal and how even the dead members are still part of it. Community is not limited to the living.
Each of Berrys stories concerns some of the characters from the same families, which Berry calls (significantly revealing his definition of community) the Port William Membership.
In Berry's writing, marriage is the cornerstone of community. The love, trust, and connection in a marriage are also the founding characteristics of a successful community.
Yet he has dared to do what, for the most part, they did not: to live the life he has written about.- Knowledge from experience. He knows the farm life
He has a traditionalist view on the world, and he shows this through Hannah's character who does not like how society is changing. She does not like this change because it is taking her children away from the lifestyle she grew up with which is the small town farming community of Port William.
