Is there a way to make villagers aggressive against the player in vanilla Minecraft?

I'm looking into making some minigames, and I'm not sure how it would work, but Is it possible to make villagers aggressive/evil in vanilla Minecraft?. I'm looking for hurting the player, but also other traits that will give the player the impression that the villagers are unfriendly.

I cannot think how this would be accomplished, but I have seen other seemingly impossible tasks answered here. Any ideas for how I might get this to work, or at least to get me started?

If you mean cause them to become hostile, and attack the player, no, that's not possible. Villagers are passive mobs, and will flee if attacked.

As an aside, you also get Iron Golems in villages, and they will become aggressive if you attack them, or a villager, or if you have very low popularity.

For completeness, there are various mods (Hostile Villagers, Defensive Villagers) which do what you're asking, but this obviously does not help in Vanilla.
