%X This research is aimed (1) to describe the textual meaning breadth variation  represented in F. S. Fiztgerald’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and F.  Chotimah’s Kisah Aneh Benjamin Button and to describe the most prominent  category of textual meaning breadth variation, (2) to describe which text is in a  higher degree in its textual meaning breadth, and (3) to explain the contextual  factors that motivate the occurrence of the textual meaning breadth variation.  The method of this research was descriptive qualitative. The data were taken  from the original novel of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button written by F. S.  Fiztgerald and the translated novel, Kisah Aneh Benjamin Button by F. Chotimah.  Meanwhile, the main research instrument was the researcher herself. The  secondary instrument was the data sheet which supported the observation of the  data. Credibility and dependability criteria were used in this study to achieve the  trustworthiness.  The general conclusion can be drawn as (1) the global overall variation is  the average of the degree variation at a whole. The mean of the data is 7.065 and it  falls in the interval 5-10. The global overall variation lies in degree variation scale  “1”. The most prominent category in the whole data is variation scale “0”. It is  supported by the finding of the most prominent category or the highest occurrence  of textual meaning. From 701 clauses there are 461 clauses or 65.76% which has  the lowest degree of variation. It means that most of the data have equal thematic  variation and the source text clauses are mostly realized in the target text. (2) It is  found that 65.91% of the data have the equal degree of meaning breadth. It means  that most of the data have equal thematic variation and the source clauses are  mostly realized in the target text. (3) In this research, the factors that motivate the  occurrence of the variation of the data are intrinsic and extrinsic motivating  factors. The nature of language also becomes the considerations in the novel that  also encourages the variation. The similarity of the existence of the simple clauses  in both texts implies the similarity of the type and the number element. In this  research, Text 1 is the inter-textual context of Text 2 as Text 1 motivates the  behavior of Text 2. Since Text 2 does not influence and motivate Text 1, the  situational context, the field, the tenor, and the mode, of Text 2 are the same as  Text 1. The sentence structure and message of the Text 1 are conveyed clearly in  Text 2 without many modifications and shifting.  Key words: thematic variation, textual meaning breadth variation, intrinsic factors, extrinsic factors.
