What are the themes in "The Black Cat"?

Theme is the main idea that runs throughout a story, and usually there are more than one or two.  To create a list for yourself, complete the following:  __________________(name of story) is a tale about________________(the first thing that comes to mind).

The Black Cat is a tale about men vs. women, guilt, torment, love, marriage, murder, pride, and the list can go on and on.

Be sure that you are able to point to evidence in the story that supports your ideas.

Good Luck!
