The literary device and example that is NOT found within "Yeh-Shen" is:

B) Alliteration: The maliciously malevolent Maleficent.

This example uses alliteration with the repetition of the "m" sound but refers to a character (Maleficent) that is not part of the "Yeh-Shen" story. The other examples (A, C, and D) relate directly to the themes and elements present in "Yeh-Shen."
