This article studies the mechanism of secrets and secrecy in El secretario confuso (1634), comedy by Jacinto Cordeiro; he is a playwright that belongs to the group of lusitan authors that write in Spanish during the Dual Monarchy period (1580-1640). This work, that can be included in the secretario subtype of comedia palatina genre -based on the infatuation between a noble lady and her secretary- shows thematic and structural coincidences with the main comedies of this modality -El perro del hortelano by Lope de Vega and El vergonzoso en palacio by Tirso de Molina-, but providing new variations to this corpus focussed on the communicational dynamics of remaining silent, concealing and declaring love between the different characters.
