The theme is the displaced entity, the entity that moves. This does not have to be the subject.
Example:
Jeg dyttet skapet bortover.
“I pushed the closet”

| V | |
| skapet | |

'Skapet' is here the displaced entity, even though it is not the subject.
'Jeg' is here the displaced entity, and also the subject of the sentence.
