Would someone please educate me on the two sentences below??

1. He reluctantly did it.
2. He unwillingly did it.

Is #2 possible to mean the same as #1??

Thanks so much.

Both the sentences man the same thing, but the adverbs reluctantly and unwillingly are usually sentence-final.

He did it reluctantly.
He did it unwillingly.
