Summary: "Diffinição da sécia" by Anonymous is a satirical text likely written in the 18th century. This work serves as a humorous exploration of human foolishness and pretentiousness, particularly focusing on the concept of "sécia" which can be interpreted as arrogance or affectation among various social classes. The book critiques the behaviors and attitudes of individuals who engage in hollow displays of knowledge or status. In this text, the author presents an extensive range of characters, including scholars, poets, judges, and women, all embodying different forms of "sécia." Each character is depicted with exaggerated traits that highlight their pretentiousness and ignorance, revealing a society obsessed with appearances and social status rather than genuine substance. From the insecure noble who boasts of lineage to the self-important poet who lacks true talent, the narratives satirically expose the absurdities of their behaviors. Ultimately, "Diffinição da sécia" serves as a reflection on the nature of societal vanity, encouraging readers to question the authenticity behind the façades people uphold.
