Explanation

'Despite her fear' creates a contrast - she's afraid but feeling the opposite emotion. 'Thrilled' means experiencing excitement or joy, which contrasts with fear. 'Dismayed' means distressed, 'unwilling' means not wanting, 'ashamed' means embarrassed, and 'alarmed' means frightened - all negative emotions like fear itself, not opposites.
