There's a difference between figuratively and literally.

exactly, the difference is that they're opposite. you can't use "literally" to mean "figuratively"

"She's [figuratively] Hitler" -- she's like Hitler, you can omit "figuratively" here because the intent is understood

"She's literally Hitler" -- she's actually Hitler, which makes no fucking sense
