Hi there!
In literature the subject of something is basically the topic.
So if there was a story you had to read about, we'll say, a car, but they're asking what the subject/topic of the story was about, you'd say, a car, because that's what the passage is talking about.
Hope this helps! :D

Explanation:
just took a test on this subject and got this question right!
Answer:
In Romeo & Juliet, our leading female, Juliet, could be considered a modern woman/ feminist. One example of this was when Juliet and her mother were talking and they exchanged these words on what Juliet thinks about marriage, "LADY CAPULET
: Marry, that 'marry' is the very theme I came to talk of. Tell me, daughter Juliet, How stands your disposition to be married? JULIET
: It is an honour that I dream not of.
" That's a bold thought coming from Juliet. At this time in history, being a single woman was not heard of often at all. Another example of Juliet's forward-thinking is shown after Lady Capulet talks about how great Paris is, then she asks if Juliet could accept his love. Juliet responds with something along the lines of to "I'll think about it, but I make no promises," practically speaking back to her mother who, at the time, naturally controlled every aspect of her life. Juliet shows off her independent abilities in another way as she declares that she no longer wants the nurse's advice. She then declares that she will go in search of the friar for his advice in the quote, "Go, counselor. Thou and my bosom henceforth shall be twain. I’ll to the friar to know his remedy.
"
