literary refers to literature, books....literally refers to in a literal manner or sense; exactly.

can you bring one example from the book description on both zaroff and rainsford behavior depending on each of the 2 terms ? :)

The whole story is an example of literature or "literary". An example of "literally" is when Rainsford "literally" feels what it is like to be hunted.

Rainsford literally jumped into the ocean. Literary is an adjective pertaining to books.

No you can't, literary refers to a story or work of fiction/non fiction. It means something completely different than "literally" which is an adverb.
