Yeah (It's not polite to butt in...but, I had to), you are right. Lana is an object to be own, rather than a real person, in the SV verse. Lana is often, IMO, presented less than human: she is a prize, a collectible, an object that brings pretige to the holder/ owner rather than a person. (This is the way she is portrayed, I am not suggesting this is what she necessarily is.)

What's more Lana is portrayed as enjoying this objectification: This is what really pisses me off. She is being controlled by elevating her to this blameless status of someone who is never wrong, nor ever scolded for actions that in and by others cause blame, yet these actions result in injury/ death/ voyeristic experiences/ her to be praises for her beauty etc. and all the while she remains in-active, passive.

In addition, she is portrayed ... smug, it could be said, so smug that she accepts and expects controlling/ voyerism as her due. (Again, she is portrayed this way.) She is also seen using her object status to gain favor from people whose favors she needs/ wants, somehow passively again. Favors just fall in her lap: trips to Paris, dead ex-bfs, coffee shops. It's all related to her being an object, rather than a person, in SV verse.

In short, I agree with you.
