innocence symbolizes travis because he doesn't know all the wrong that Walter is doing with wanting to open up a liquor store instead of using it for a house. travis really has no idea what racism is. Travis doesn't know about his family arguing all the time because they usually stop as soon as he walks in the room. He only gets a understanding of whats going on towards the end of the play when mama won't let him go outside when Walter wants to sign the papers. Without Travis the play would've turned out a lot different.
