\who knows bettern i do what normal is?\ said hazel.
how does the dialogue develop hazels character?

it depicts her as a round character because she is good at something, which makes her better than her peers.
it depicts her as a flat character because she is unclear about what normal means.

Explanation:

In "Harrison Bergeron," Hazel is a flat character. A flat character is one - dimensional and doesn't have complex layers. Her statement "Who knows better 'n I do what normal is?" shows she represents the average. In the story's context, the society enforces "normal" (average) through handicaps. Since she is so sure of what "normal" is (and in the story's world, normal is the average, which is a simplistic view), she fits the flat - character stereotype of average intelligence.

Answer:

It depicts her as a flat character because she represents the stereotype of average intelligence.
