The term literal meaning means that all words are in strict accordance with their original meanings. In other words, to apply the literal meaning is to take the words in their most basic sense without metaphor or exaggeration.

this is normally used to make the reader understand everything ..without any use of indirect language .

well to make it clear to u ill try to give an example :

" Can you wait outside? "

In the literal meaning, this could be construed as:

Do you have the ability to wait outside?

Answer:

The meaning of irony is the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect. In 'The Gift of the Magi' by O. Henry' irony is represented when Jim gives Della the combs after she sold her hair. The story states," For there were the combs -- the special set of objects to hold her hair that Della had wanted ever since she saw them in a shop window. Beautiful combs, made of shells, with jewels at the edge --just the color to wear in the beautiful hair that was no longer hers. They cost a lot of money, she knew, and her heart had wanted them without ever hoping to have them. And now, the beautiful combs were hers, but the hair that should have touched them was gone." This persents irony because she sold her hair, so she couldn't use the combs she longed for.
