Understanding 'cliche' vs 'trope', as well as when something is 'meta'

Many kind thanks in advance to whoever can help me with the following:


1. What is the easiest way to differentiate, with examples, a trope from a cliche?


2. What does it mean when something is 'meta'?


Have a terrific day, and stay safe.
