The dominant reading for females would be one of
thinking that Ted who is arrogant and only cares
about keeping up appearances. He also seems to
think very little of Grace and the work she does
and doesn’t really pay attention to her. He seems
to disregard the signs of his wife’s unhappiness or
he is just ignorant and wrapped up in his own
world. Females would also symathise with Grace
for being married to such a moron as Ted. They
could also understand why Grace chose to leave
with the money she won from the lottery as we can
see that she was desperate and unhappy.
