The Black Cat lesson/activity?

Question

I have to do a 4-5 minute discussion or activity with my class (I'm a student) on The Black Cat by Edgar Allan Poe. What do you think I could talk about/do with them? I'd like to start a discussion of some type or ask for everyone's opinions - but how can I keep it going for 4 minutes?
Could anyone give me a list of things such as themes that I could get them talking about?

Answer 1

Let's see

1.Murder
2. Cruelty to animals
3. Alcoholism
4. Walling up a murder victim in order to conceal a murder
5. What elements Poe uses to make this a macabre story
6. The effects this and other horror stories by Poe may have on the modern horror genre
