No one really identifies any witches in The Crucible. They do not exist. Many characters claim to see/know witches. Some of those characters include Abigail Williams, Tituba, Mercy Lewis, Ann Putnam, and Betty Parris.
One example of a cliffhanger in The Crucible is when John Proctor confesses to committing adultery with Abigail Williams in an effort to save his wife, Elizabeth. The audience is left wondering what the outcome of this confession will be and how it will affect the characters and the unfolding events in the play.
