What is the subject of sentence with ください?
Hope I've understood you correctly:

くださる means 'to give'.

> (You) give (me) the favour of making sure to come at 8 o'clock. = Please
> make sure to come at 8 o'clock

The person doing the giving (you) is the opponent which is the **subject** of
くださる. The speaker (me) is the **indirect object**.
