Not stalked, per se, but the workers meetings are spied on.

Actually, despite what the voting says, there is a scene at the end of which the inventor Rotwang seems to be doing something close to sexual assault to Maria, he tries to force himself upon her at any rate, please proceed with caution.

During the scene of the city being flooded, Maria saves the children from drowning. Later on, a character mentions the possibility of worker's children dying due to the flood.

There is no explicit possession, but the scientist Rotwang acts as if he is possessed and chases Maria under the illusion that she is his dead lover, Hel.

Although there have been arguments made that Rotwang the scientist is a dog-whistle depiction of a Jewish man during the time the film was produced, there is nothing explicitly antisemitic. In addition, the director Fritz Lang was Jewish and left Germany in 1933.

The dance the Maria double does is sexual, and used as a classic example of the male gaze in film.
