Compare and contrast subject and theme. Your answer should be 3-4 sentences.

Subject is about the person. Theme is about the message that the author is trying to get the reader/audience to understand. Subject can consist of characters or the setting or the plot of the story/essay. Theme is the main idea or the message that the author wants the reader/audience to understand. (original)

Explanation:

"Subject can be defined as the characters, setting, and general plot of a literary work. Theme, on the other hand, addresses the main idea or the author's message. It involves a statement or opinion. It is revealed through the feelings of character(s), their thoughts and conversations, and actions or event."
