I never include them, breaks the flow of the essay too much.

It's not required but it can help give context.

You don't need to but my teacher says we have to, so just do whatever your school asks (in the trials) but in the HSC nah you don't have to.

No you don't have to unless they are already in your essay-otherwise it is not worth the effort to find it and remember extra things right now.

I didn't include them.

I wouldn't include them forcefully, but if you had a chance at the start of the paragraph to say you were drawing on the changes of 'x' character in Act 'x' scene 'x' contrasted against Act 'x' then that could help with your structure.
