Explanation:

The literal meaning is the meaning which means the same as it is meant in actual. It does not have any hidden meaning assigned to it. The meaning is accepted as it has been conventionally denoted to it.

The figurative meaning is the meaning which has hidden meaning in it. What had actually happened is hidden in the sentence and is left to understand.
