The 1st Poet's monologue enhances the play primarily by introducing the audience to Beowulf, the main character. This monologue sets the stage for Beowulf's character, establishing his heroic qualities and his impending journey to confront Grendel, thereby capturing the audience's interest and providing a strong foundation for the narrative.
