Question

write a short note on Literal vs, metaphorical meaning with an example?

Answer 1

Literal meaning- taking words in their usual or most basic sense without metaphor or allegory.
Eg: a misprint of a letter.

Metaphorical meaning- a figure of speech containing an implied comparison, in which a word or phrase ordinarily and primarily used of one thing is applied to another.
Eg: all the world's a stage.
